Yam chips

We braved the crowds today and entered Trader Joe’s. I’m not going to say anything controversial here, since I’ve already said plenty about the place and, after having looked around, my feelings have only been made more concrete. I did notice good prices on butter and eggs, but otherwise, it’s just a bunch of shrink-wrapped junk and frozen meat, not to mention a bunch of losers ramming their carts into me, fighting their way to the trail mix aisle.

If I ever find myself that far east on 14th Street and it’s not overcrowded, I’ll cheerfully go in to buy dairy products. In the meantime, I celebrated fresh produce today by making homemade vegetable chips, in the spirt of Terra Chips. You could spend $3.89, or you could buy one sweet potato and some generic vegetable oil and do it yourself in ten minutes.
